1423 Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, Olinda, Vic 3788

Follow the winding driveway and something unexpected unfolds. What begins quietly reveals itself into a sunlit clearing - almost 3/4 acre (approx. 2877 Sqm) featuring open space, majestic trees and possibility. In Olinda, where treed seclusion is often the norm, this kind of flat, light-filled expanse feels like a rare and welcome surprise.

At its heart sits a charming timber home that has been thoughtfully updated for modern living while keeping its relaxed, slightly rustic soul intact. The living and dining zones flow easily together, creating a sense of openness that feels both social and comfortable, with warm hardwood floors, exposed brick, and a raked timber-lined ceiling drawing the eye upward. A wood fire anchors the space, ready for slow evenings and cooler nights, while natural light spills in from every angle.

The kitchen is practical and inviting, with generous storage, stainless steel appliances and a Bosch upright cooker, all centred around a wide bench that doubles as a breakfast bar and gathering point. A spacious adjoining laundry offers flexibility, easily stepping in as a butler’s pantry when entertaining calls.

Two well-sized bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, each with impressive storage. The main bedroom with feature wall adds a thoughtful touch with a custom walk-in robe complete with built-in seating and soft pendant lighting - a small luxury that will quickly become a favourite.

The bathroom sits centrally and has been beautifully renovated, featuring a floating timber vanity, deep soak bath and a generous rain shower - the kind of space that invites you to linger just a little longer.

Step outside and the lifestyle truly opens up. A wide, semi-covered deck stretches across the front of the home, capturing north-easterly light and views across the stunning gardens. A magnificent ginkgo and chestnut tree takes centre stage, surrounded by rhododendrons, tree ferns, and layers of greenery that gently fade into the forest beyond.

Below, a tucked-away hot tub offers a place to unwind under open skies, while the grounds themselves provide room to play, potter or simply breathe. There’s a firepit zone for gathering, a covered sandpit and plenty of flat lawn for kids or perhaps some chooks.

With abundant flat, off-street parking, a carport, and easy access to local cafés, the Pig & Whistle, village life and transport, this is a home that balances charm, practicality and a little bit of magic. An ideal first home, weekender or one to add to the investment portfolio.
